From what I'm hearing people are either at record high sales or record lows for the last couple of months. Nobody seems to be having typical late summer-eraly fall sales.

Sales are slow still here in Jersey. Doesn't help that three quarters of the business buildings in the area are empty.

Feb: slow to medium
March: balls-out busy
April: insanely busy
May:busy
June:starts out busy then goes to medium
July: slow
August: slow
Sept:medium
Oct: medium
Nov: slow
Dec: slow but for a few small "gift" type jobs
I've been utterly dead since July, I have bid on two jobs this month and got the $25 one.

I did have one $790 job but that's corporate therefore I may get paid by Christmas.
Love....Jill

Business has been a rollercoaster this summer. Now that it is getting colder all of a sudden we have finally gotten deposits like crazy. Signs ranging from 300.00 to 6400.00 and they all want them by Nov. 1st. As well as we are moving the main shop out of the basement and into a retail location, and starting a second business ( not related to signs. ) by then also. All part of the joys of being a business owner.

Record high..... done more in the past 3 months than the entire rest of the year. I think we are on a record 3 month period in our entire 7 years. Doing everything I can just to keep up right now. This will we will wrap a Hondra CRV, Full size Toyota pickup (done), 2 more full wrap 36 foot buses, 225 10x12 digital print logos printed laminated and cut, and a few other assorted small jobs. Thats just this weeks schedule! I am a 4 person shop so yes - with the buses I'm using contract installers to get those done.
